    How is the suspense and fantasy aspect of this book? Unlike typical formulaic novels, it's quite novel and engaging. It's only been available for a few days, so I haven't started recommending it yet. It has a suspenseful pace of "one step, one trap, each trap fatal": just when you think the truth is revealed, an even bigger twist immediately slaps you in the face. It also has a realistic feel with "archaeological-level details": from identifying ancient coins to building interstellar spaceships, the author seems to genuinely understand these things. There's also an emotional impact of "bittersweet moments": sacrifice isn't sentimental, but a necessary price; love isn't a burden, but the final anchor. This book might be suitable for readers who: are tired of mindless wish-fulfillment novels and want their intelligence respected; enjoy the suspense of *Ghost Blows Out the Light* + the scope of *The Three-Body Problem* + the emotions of *Interstellar*; are powerless against the fusion of "folk mystery culture" and "hard science fiction settings"; and crave a group story with growth, sacrifice, and choices.
